This past weekend was the youth leader retreat for the main leaders (aka planners, visionaries) of our youth ministry, //twentyfourseven. A couple from our church kindly let us use their summer home on Burt Lake for our retreat. They cooked dinner for us both nights and supplied the food for the rest of our meals. It was awesome.
Here are the pics and explanations that will pretty much describe the weekend!
This is the first meeting on Friday night. We are all busy taking notes (aka doodling!).
Our fearless leader, James. He looks so official with his flip chart!
Um, supposedly they were making us breakfast! LOL. Zach and James
Out on the "veranda" (aka the deck). Yea, yea, we were planning and focusing on youth ministry! Yea, uh huh!
This is Jeff, trying to get Zach to focus! LOL
The view from the back deck. Awesome!
The beach! (This is their back yard!)
Cherie on the dock.
The view of the back of the house from the dock.
Me and Jeffy!
Cherie and Terry...oh so cute!
More focusing and planning (yeah right!) on the beach. The fresh air helped clear our heads. Sounds good, right???
Zach and James need a little extra fresh air! They took the row boat out. It was hilarious! Windy and wavy!
Zach. His tummy needed more fresh air, eh
Nick, Sandy, Cherie and Terry. Awesome youth leaders!
Zach and Carson, the homeowner's son. Carson loves Zach and was his little shadow!
Speed Scrabble, oh yeah!
More Speed Scrabble!
Planning by campfire! Somehow campfire's on the beach really do help you focus better!
Proof we really were working! See the laptop screen!
Here we are. I'm typing away on my laptop. After this, my laptop smelled like campfire! It's better now.
The fire. Mmmmm warm and toasty!
Zach and Sandy, paying attention. (miracle of miracles!)
Ah, James. See, we really did work! See all the papers hung on the fireplace and railing?
